Little more progress from the weekend. So looking at the images of John C welder trailer restoration it seems there is an additional plate welded to the chassis to locate the front engine mount. Based of the images below I have the same alignment issues. So I planned to replicate by fitting the additional plate too. Doing this jacks the engine up meaning the fan won’t run concentrically in the radiator. in the end I removed the old engine plate and replaced with a slightly longer one. Complete with little helper!

Help and advice required!! Firstly. Engine mounts are knackered. Anyone recognise what other pieces of equipment these would be used on to help me track a set down. Secondary. Now that I have transplanted the trailer back into the murex chassis, the exhaust system that was in the original trailer will no longer fit. I have found another silencer that might be better suited. It’s a lot shorter and will fit width wise across the back of the trailer. Anyone any pictures on how the exhaust system should be fitted? Before I start getting creative?

Ha. This trailer collection is boarding on being a problem!!! Apparently.. For the price it sold for I had to buy it. Complete with its original data plate which my complete murex is missing. Also the chassis currently under my first murex is 5KV generator type frame. To make into a WW2 murex frame it would take a substantial amount of work to adapt. My plans are to build one good WW2 spec trailer out of the two. I’ve spent a good day today cutting and grinding off all the clagged on bits of steel.

Some good progress this weekend. Aim was to get all of the drilling and riveting completed on one of the lockers, switch over and start the same process on the second locker. Seems we were blessed with some decent spraying weather this morning, managed to get it in paint and bolted back onto the trailer.
